Whale watching Ami - We did a private boat trip with Ami driving us. He interacted with us throughout the trip and made the experience really fun. He got us really up close with the whales which was amazing overall an amazing experience I would highly recommend.

Relaxed small boat experience with experienced and personable captain - Had a fantastic trip with Patrick as captain. He had a great welcome for us and was very knowledgeable of the area and the pilot whales, of which we saw 2 pods. There was a family of 4 with us so 6 in total, the boat takes 7 max. It is very personable and relaxing with such a small number. We stopped for a swim off the boat in a small cove and the water was full of fish. Patrick supplied snorkeling gear to anyone who wanted to have a go. After this there was a selection of sandwiches and snacks provided as well as wine, beer and soft drinks which was much appreciated. The other family had 2 young boys who got a chance to steer the boat and were provided with a certificate at the end of the trip, needless to say they were singing Patrick's praises by the time we got back to shore. Overall a very enjoyable trip which we would definitely repeat,

If you want a "exclusive" boat excursion this is the one for you. - If you want a "exclusive" boat excursion this is the one for you.
We had this booked but unfortunately we decided to postpone on the captains advice, he was happy to take us out on the day booked but wanted us to enjoy ourselves and most people were coming off boat excursions with sea sickness due to the rough sea.
The captain gave us 3 choices, go out, postpone or cancel with a full refund, luckily we were in Tenerife for 2 weeks so rebooked and so glad we did!
Captain was great, informative and helpful - trip included unlimited soft drinks, water, beer and wine.
A tray of sandwiches were provided along with snacks and crisps for the kids and sweets.
We got to see some whales and the chance to have a dip in the water with snorkeling gear provided if you wanted to use it
I would 100% do this trip again and would highly recommend, great boat and company booked via Tenerife First Excusions but sure you could go direct :)

Private charter - can’t beat it! - Fantastic experience with Galatea Sailing. Patrick was wonderful and looked after us superbly! We were very lucky to see a turtle and a family of pilot whales on our way out. Lunch stop was beautiful and the sandwiches and snacks were delicious and just what we needed after an hour or so on the water. Then swimming with the fish was a highlight. We took the 9:30am boat and paid for a private charter if you are a family of between 4-7 people I would highly recommend this! Thank you for a memorable experience for all the family!

You just do this!!! - What a brilliant morning. The skipper was a great crack and even managed to find us loads of pilot whales.
The lunch and open bar was an added bonus!
Overall a stunning experience I would highly recommend.

Highly recommend - Fabulous trip 🥰
Saw pilot whales and our skipper explained all about the whale and dolphin population
Then a stop in a gorgeous cove where we were served drinks and a picnic with the chance to also swim with the abundant fish x
Finished with a lovely sail down the coast x
Couldn’t beat this trip and well worth paying the 45euros pp xx
Ps tip the skipper as he’s really good and the photos were also worth the money xxx

It can't get any worse(((( - Boating as a family with two children. Fell for the seller's recommendations and good reviews. The result has saddened us, to say the least. Terrible! I have no idea where so many good reviews came from. I assume we were unlucky and had a different captain than those tourists, I have no other logical explanation. I don't know what our "Captain" was, he didn't honor us or introduce himself. Ours was a solid build, about 40, sort of Irish. Although he spoke English, Russian and Spanish. We were treated, from the beginning of the journey, as if he had done us a great favour. It seemed that he had been forced to go to sea for free and not on his shift. Our young children (ages 8 and 6) were treated as horribly as we were - no help, no fun jokes as in the reviews. He answered all the questions reluctantly and only yes or no. I get the feeling that a man is hungover because drinking two cans of beer brings him back to life a little. When we bought the tour, we were promised that we would almost 100 percent see whales and dolphins. We saw a small group of three whales, but no dolphins. And to our question, are we looking for dolphins? The answer was no! Without explanation. And to come into conflict with a less-than-adequate person in the open ocean, we certainly had no desire. When he stopped for a dip in the sea, he did absolutely nothing to help or even offer to help us or our young children, either by going down the uncomfortable ladder from the side into the sea or by getting on board. The children saw there were masks with pipes on the boat and asked this "captain" for them, so he threw them off the side into the water so that my husband had to follow them. Disgusting journey. Nightmare and horror. Shame on captains like this (((

Wasn't what I thought - We booked with Patrick, and one sales rep told us it's nice small boat for great experience. The boat is very old no taps working the toilets was broke the sailing don't even work! The Italy captain was amazing and he's very experienced what he does the fin broke and i helped him fix the rod boat needs updating for extra 15 euros could went on bigger boat with more Morden facilities won't be back but would definitely like to say the Italy captain made the day its not even correct boat in the business card
